Particularly, the three o’clock register, which contains each a 30-minute and a 12-hour scale for measuring elapsed time, is designed to appear to be the “burn price” show for a fighter jet, whereas its reverse quantity at 9 options a synthetic horizon in blue (somewhat than the pilot-only unique’s grey) and a goal crosshair; this register shows the operating seconds.

The chronograph seconds hand, as is customary, is centrally mounted, and on this watch bears a varnished orange airplane form at its tip. Every subdial options triangular fingers, a nod to earlier cult basic Omega fashions, particularly the Flightmaster, a 44mm chronograph launched in 1969 and marketed as a devoted pilot’s watch.

The hour and minute fingers, in addition to the hour markers, deviate from normal Speedmaster fare. The fingers are PVD-coated in matte black, and are completed in massive blocks of Tremendous-LumiNova for optimum legibility at night time, to match the 3D lume of the hour markers. The lume seems white by day, and has a inexperienced “emission”—the watch geek time period for its colourful glow.
